Hunger Games Simulator - Trouble Cube Edition

[wingedcatgirl]

(Prime Queen is talking to someone over her earpiece.) Oh, the cannons only come out when the sun sets? I see, I see - I'd thought, y'know, since there were in fact no deaths that night - right, right, long as we're all on the same page, here. (She glances at the camera.) Sorry, we're on, I gotta let you go -

Don't be bemused, it's just the news!

I'm your host, Prime Queen, and Season 4 of the Trouble Cube Hunger Games continues unabated! The sun has just risen on the third day of this battle royale, and this reporter, for one, is ready to see some action!

Day 3

An anonymous sponsor shows their support! Let's see whether this helps Kiyoka survive!

Oh, honey - you could do so much better than him, surely...? Well, we'll see how this romance plays out, I suppose. Who knows, maybe Peko knows something I don't...

Dad's hankering for a hotdog, but his inventory is full, so Kim just sets it on his head! ... And another one... and another one... hoo boy, they're both getting awfully carried away here... Ah, and down goes the pile.

Ruffle and Whitney: the hottest new secret romance, or a rumor blown out of proportion?

Three tributes work together to pacify the forum mod before she goes out of control!

(A neon purple butterfly mask appears over Prime Queen's face.) Don't count on it. (The mask fades, and Prime Queen shakes her head.) Yes, thank you Shadow Moth for your valuable input...

It's that thing! It's that thing I like! He referenced it!

Enhanced physical attributes and magically-compelled servants? Viewers, I think we may just be seeing a new Shadow Moth here!

In this world, it's kill or be killed. If you're not killing, there's only one other outcome for you, and these tributes know it.

What was supposed to be a peaceful day at the cheese farm ends in blood and death, as Byrne brutally impales Brolander!

Miyazaki realizes that his aching tooth was a mistake - no? Too soon to recycle that bit?

Wait, what happened?! I looked away, did he eat the poison berries or did he die unrelatedly!? Damn it!

I have a gun
Without a daughter
The girl must die
(The table is mixed with drums)

Wake up without huuuiuh
The key to eeheoheoh

If not
Baby baby
You and your penis penis

juuuuuuuuuuuuuj
leum jujjuj to shit

Improbably, The Fourth Wall also stumbles on rare and valuable gene mods! It opts for the power of shapeshifting, far more versatile - when applied correctly.

A thrilling chase is briefly derailed when someone raises logistical questions about what just happened.

A deadly prank gone wrong - for the pranker! Zim's alien biology lets him shrug off boiling water like it's nothing!

Heh. Gotta admit, I made that mistake more often than I'd like to admit when I was a fledgling reporter.

The weird fish thing knows its love for a cat can never be, after all...

And as the sun sets, we hear two cannons ringing out.

Fallen Tributes

Brolander: 43rd
Raspberry Mousse Cookie: 42nd

Night 3

Desperate to escape, Kinji challenges the first person he can sneak up on!

I told you, Peko, I fucking told you, Bob's no good for you! He doesn't even know who you are!

Moose faces! Ha! What will they think of next, am I right?

A service for the dearly departed cookie. Is someone here going to mention how he died or are we just gonna be lost on that?

Ooh, now that's a dangerous game. These tributes had best take care, lest they be driven into a furious bloodlust.

Oh no! The poor thing had nobody to snuggle!

No, DJ, that's just how it is in the Hunger Games.

Do we have ourselves a Bond Girl for this season? I think we do~

(Prime Queen laughs childishly.)

Ruffle has an interesting method of handling his insomnia...

A bloodless slaughter! Byrne stumbles upon a magical ring and uses it to ruthlessly convert Takeuchi, Zim, dado, and the Pianist into inanimate objects. Now, should he keep them as trophies, or sell them off at a pawn shop? Vote now on your phones, audience~

Heh, what a prank. Don't worry, Lloyd, many people find that endearing.

No Broheart. Broheart gotta die.

Human biology is terrifying, quite frankly. That's why I became a reporter and not a doctor.

Please, Ami, everyone knows that when you're done with the clone machine, you dispose of the refuse! Don't make beta Wooper clean up after you like that!

Well, experiment? Are you or aren't you familiar with Gorillaz?

There, there, Reisen. There, there.

Day 4

Ms. Swann. Madeleine. Maddy. Dear. Have you never once heard of TWINS?!

Good old gambling-free games of chance.

Ooh, never upset a kitty.

Word to the wise, if Bob says he spies something titled "image.png", you don't want to see it.

Ooh, future skateboarding! Just be warned that the future is not set in stone. Don't think this vision guarantees you'll survive this game...

Vengeance! Beta Wooper runs Byrne through for what he did to its friends.

The hunt continues.

Miyazaki beseeches the Random Number Goddess to smite his foe! Unfortunately, Bond is made of sterner stuff than that, and he gets away alive...

Copyright... stronger than Doofenshmirtz, stronger than Shadow Moth, stronger than every Miraculous holder put together. Don't toy with things beyond your comprehension, Doof.

All for nothing! Brady tries to cheat death by draining Kiyoka's life force, only for DJ Professor K to teach Brady once and for all that he remains mortal.

Ruffle accuses Lloyd of cheating and retaliates accordingly.

You say the experiment is but a cover-up for a government spying scheme?! How devious of them!

(Prime Queen smiles.) When you think about it, the Hunger Games themselves are just playing-with-dolls writ large, aren't they?

To be fair, I also thought you intended "c" to stand for cookie, not the speed of light. But a harsh teacher is an effective one.

Resignations aren't accepted! Michael recruited the Cellist to perform this stunt, and perform it he must - on pain of death.

Ooooh, what will Yoshiko wish for?

You can build whatever kind of land you want, after you win this game. You know the rules, Herb.

And as the sun sets on the fourth day, the cannons ring out to honor the fallen.
